Eudora George brought meals to the hospital at noon.
Harley Louis was waiting on the bed. His eyes lit up immediately when he saw her.
He took over the food in her hand and murmured while eating. "Eudora, you're finally here. I'm starving to death."
This made her crack up. "If you're really hungry, you should eat in the hospital!"
"Then I'd rather starve to death!"
Eudora was speechless. She had her head lowered when Harley suddenly asked her a question, "So, how are you and Amos lately?"
She did not expect Harley to ask her this. Quickly, she blurted, "We're fine!"
"That's good!" Harley smiled and said, "Don't hurt your relationship just because of a despicable person."
"Despicable?" Eudora looked at him helplessly. "Are you talking about Wendy Liam?"
"Who else could it be? She was throwing a tantrum again earlier in the morning. I admit that she's pitiful, but she just wants Amos to marry her. What a despicable woman!"
"Does she know?" Eudora frowned.
Harley nodded at her, "Yes!" After Harley finished his meal, Eudora went out with her things. She saw that Auntie Agnes was pushing Wendy for a walk into the garden.
When Wendy saw her, she said something to Auntie Agnes behind her, which made her push the wheelchair toward Eudora.
"Eudora, wait a minute!"
Ah. She finally stopped addressing her as Miss George. It no longer sound as disgusting as it was before.
Eudora took a deep breath and turned to face her, "Yes?"
Wendy pursed her lips, "I might have done a lot of bad things before, but I really like Amos."
Eudora frowned and said curtly, "I'm not interested in listening to you saying all these."
Wendy could apologize now, but Fae died at such a young age. Moreover, Eudora herself had also suffered for three years because of her snitching.
Eudora thought that she could let bygones be bygones, but when she thought about Fae's death as well as the three years that she had lost, she just could not get over it.
"What else do you want?" Wendy shouted all of a sudden, "I have nothing left. I don't have any relatives or children. No one except Amos will like me. What else do you want? I beg you, please give Amos to me..."
Her voice was very loud, which quickly attracted the attention of the patients who were walking downstairs. Soon, everyone turned to look at them and started to whisper.
Wendy had achieved her goal. She wanted to exploit the public's kindness to earn herself pity points.
Eudora was aware of what Wendy was trying to do. If it had been in the past, she might have given up for the sake of her freedom. But now, she would not do so anymore.
She would not give up, regardless it was for Fae, herself, or even for the child in her belly.
She would never let the bad woman in front of her get what she wanted.
Therefore, she answered in an even louder voice.
"Miss Liam, I know you are pitiful, but my husband and I really love each other. You couldn't ask me to give you my husband just because you saved him, could you? What should I do? Have you thought about it?"
The public would always side with the wife, and in this situation, Wendy could only be counted as a mistress at best.
Those who were on Wendy's side began to sympathize with Eudora.
